LgPRosY IN THE SANDWICH ISLANDS,
The Hawaiian legislature has recently is.
sued a report on leprosy. Il has been said
that this disease was introduced in 1888 by
Chinamar aud was hence called by the
natives the Chinese disease; but it is
probably much older than that. 1t was not
until 1915 that the law was passed that all
iepers should be sent to the hospital on the
island OF Oahu, near Honolulu. Once pub
lie attention was called to this loathsome
disease, and search instituted, it was found
that there was terrible amount of it in the
islands, and every effort was made to stamp
it out The entire native population in 1882
was reckoned at about 10000, and from four
to five per cent of this number were leprous.
One great source of infection is found in the
tenaciiy with which people cling to their
leprous kin even to the last, and prefer 10

settlement there are about 200 patients

Ten CENT PIETY.-In Milford, Mass, on Christ
mas morning, the wife of Captain John C. Berrill,
of the State militia, attended the nine o'clock
mass, and soon after the collection was taken up
she was ordered to leave the church by the
Rev. Father Cuddihy. The o'clock mass
is q chldren's mass, and the service is held
in tho basement of the church, but Mrs. Ber-
rii says that there were other grown persons in
the audience Mrs. Berrill put ten cents or the
contribution plate when it was passed. Others

the shoulder aud told Inc to leave the church."
Mrs. Bcrrll says that she shall not 50 again to st.
Mary's Church while Father Cuddihy is tits pastor.
The Milford Gazette prints the following letter
from the priest of the parish:
John c. BerrW:
have seen your wife, Mary C.'s, card in the
Journal and think her husband must be very
mean man to send his wife to church on Christ
mas Day with only ten cents to pay her priest his
dues. You are militia officer, believe, and
how would you like to get only ten cents for
your distinguished services to your country for
one year? You are bootmaker earning good
pay, and would reject with scorn and indignation
an offer al wages that would degrade your labor
as mechanic. Now, Mary c., your wife, if Lot
wholly dcmoralized and prevented by marrying
Protestant ought, when she does come to church
once year, on Chr;stmas,-try to behave her.
self like any other Catholic, contribute to the
support Of her church and not plead poverty, nor
pay her pastor with abuse like an infidel. If your
wife, Mary c., is not willing to contribute more
than ten cents, then you may take her to your
Bible religion as you have already taken her to
your bosom, and the Catholic Church here will
not suffer any great loss in her absence.

aarpr,s no doubt that money bas be.

THERE Is no doubt that money has oe-
come great factor in the election OF men
to hiob Office in this country. But 1t Is no
less certain that the Office obtained by such
means is never held by really great men,
nor ever reflects honor upon these VINO
hold ii. Great as money is, however, IN re-
spect Of the matter referred to, it is not as
great as brains, and when strong men arc
preferred they reflect honor upon the oihces
they hold. This country still remains
country in which all have equal opportu-
mites. In such country brains and luck
are worth infinitely more than money as
factors in political elevation, as is proved
in innumerable instances. Nearly all the
great men of this country who held office
have come from the people, and most OF
them commenced life without the influence
of family, education or money. And the
same opportunities exist now as formerly
Therefore, whenever men are heard assert
ing that this is not country of equality OF
opportunity, and that brains ara true man
hood have no chance here against blue
b!oodn and money, they can be set down al
once as demagogues or as too ignorant 10

brains fail to tell in this country, as is often
the case. it is either because their possessoi
don't want them to, or is deficient IN some
